The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

Guess he felt the need. The need for speed.

They were in a Jeep Cherokee so I'm guessing decapitation

that pic is a Hornet from the "Cowboys" out of Ft. Worth, they used to come down to the GoM to get their ases kicked on a regular basis, probably still do

First one that I saw on imgur for reference. "Cowboys" are Marine pilots right?

yeah, they're a reserve unit out of Carswell NRJB, or whatever they call it now, I used to fly with a bunch of those knuckleheads, good guys

I missed my calling to become a pilot. Made some poor decisions early on and now I'm just on the other side of the age cutoff. Thanks for your service sir

This is such garbage thinking. It's about how you fly them not the planes themselves. Do we even know for sure if it was an F/A-18??? Any time this happens the media just throws out the F/A-18 label.
Yep, probably a F-86 sabre jet waiting to get ferried to Korea.

Secondary websites like that are so annoying. "Both died at the scene".

Yet when you click the actual sourced article from the LA Times:

All these Top Gun jokes are funny, considering there is no f-18 in the movie.

Can we get some ID-4 jokes?
